The Vatican's Time Machine

What if the Vatican had a time machine?

In the premiere episode of Time Slipped, we step inside one of the most whispered-about secrets of Vatican lore: the Chronovisor — a device said to allow users to see (but not touch) the past.

Built by a team of scientists and priests and fronted by a Benedictine monk with a flair for physics, the Chronovisor story reads like theological sci-fi. But the implications? Profound.

And if it ever existed... why did it disappear?

Join host Nikki Rich as she investigates:

• The strange double-life of Father Pellegrino Ernetti — monk and physicist
• How the Chronovisor allegedly worked (and why it’s technically just plausible enough to haunt physicists)
• What was seen
• The suspicious “confession” published after Ernetti’s death
• Fringe theories that almost make it make sense
• The threat of turning history into something you can pause, rewind… and weaponize

Episode Themes:

• Conspiracy vs. cover-up
• Time perception and historical memory
• Spirituality and science in tension
• Power, secrecy, and who controls the narrative of the past

Listener Question:

If the Chronovisor were real and you had five minutes of viewing time — what moment in history would you watch?
